Global insurer implements electronic billing system to reduce costs with Legal-X

PORTSMOUTH, NH (August 29, 2018) – Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ:EPAY), a leading provider of financial technology that helps make complex business payments simple, smart and secure, today announced that Brit Ltd. (Brit) has selected and implemented the Company’s Legal-X electronic billing solution to reduce costs and streamline its legal billing process.

Brit, a global specialty insurer and reinsurer, worked with Bottomline Technologies to implement a new legal billing platform designed to enhance its existing claims workflow system, manage legal spend and reduce the administrative burden on its adjusters.

“The implementation of Legal-X will help Brit better manage loss adjustment expense, enhance internal efficiencies and track our legal expert spend,” said Sheel Sawhney, Group Head of Claims for Brit. “The solution complements our commitment to using technology and innovation to improve how we manage claims.”

Bottomline’s Legal-X solution helps manage the costs associated with legal expenses by ensuring that law firms are billing according to pre-approved rates and service level agreements. When an invoice is flagged, it is reviewed by the software platform and escalated to one of Bottomline’s legal experts for review.

“Our expert team of lawyers, auditors and bill review specialists have deep domain expertise in the property and casualty industry,” said John Kelly, General Manager, Legal Solutions, Bottomline Technologies. “We worked with Brit to develop a legal spend management program that will help improve operational efficiency and enhance vendor relationships.”
